Neuroscientists have defined a subtype of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that they say is neither well recognized nor treated appropriately.

Researchers examined around 1,820 AD-confirmed brains and found that around 11 percent of them had a variant called hippocampal sparing AD. The figure suggests that this subtype is relatively widespread in the general population.
